Students learn how to write simple programs to evaluate formulas in several variables for lists of data. They apply these skills to the computation of areas, volumes and surface areas of familiar geometric solids.

At the end of this lesson about ratio/proportion, students will be able to recognize and apply ratios and proportions to solve real-life problems and solve for any unknown component.

A wealth of resources to help you in planning classroom instruction on rational expressions: lesson plans offer guidelines for and examples of simplifying, adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing rational expressions; practice...

Mathematicians work in many areas. Some are applied mathematicians, some theoretical, but all use mathematics as a way to figure things out by using deduction. This Science Buddies site lays out the requirements needed to become a...

The purpose of this task is to apply translations and reflections to the graphs of the functions f(x)=cos x and g(x)=sin x in order to derive some trigonometric identities. There are also rotations 180 degrees about points on the x-axis...

This task applies reflections to a regular octagon to construct a pattern of four octagons enclosing a quadrilateral. The focus of the task is on using the properties of reflections to deduce that the quadrilateral is actually a square....

In this task, students apply the definition of a parallelogram in the context of a geometric construction. Aligns with G-CO.C.11.

This task has students apply their knowledge of parallel lines to solve a geometric problem on areas of triangles. The task is open-ended in that students can choose their method of completing the task. Aligns with G-GPE.B.5.

The goal of this task is to apply dilations to a triangle in the coordinate plane. Young scholars will need to find the coordinates of a point which cuts a given segment into one third and into two thirds. The two dilated triangles share...

The purpose of this task is to use the Pythagorean Theorem to establish a fundamental trigonometric identity for an acute angle. The reasoning behind this identity is then applied to calculate a cosine for a given obtuse angle. Aligns...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students about tangent lines and how to apply theorems related to tangents of circles.

For those students interested in developing cool video game software for computer or those who enjoy applying their compter science skills to solve problems, a career as a computer software engineer might be worth examining. This Science...

This lesson presents how to apply the triangle proportionality theorem to solve for unknown variables and side lengths. It is 4 of 6 in the series titled "Triangle Proportionality Theorem."

This site explains exponential growth and decay and how it applies to the real world with its use in bacterial populations.

Solve three challenging problems that apply properties of inscribed shapes to find an arc length or a missing angle.

Solve two challenging problems that apply the inscribed angle theorem to find an arc measure or an arc length.

Solve word problems that involve general triangles using trigonometry. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

The counting principle is even easier to understand after reading this tutorial. There are practice problems and a teacher resource page included.

You have been hired by the owner of a local ice cream parlor to assist in his company's new venture. The company will soon sell its ice cream cones in the freezer section of local grocery stores. The manufacturing process requires that...

This project resulted from of the collaboration of a computer aided drafting teacher, Chris Bond, and a math teacher, Lee Cable, (Hewitt-Trussville High School) to provide higher math expectations in CT and real life application in...

Demonstrates how to use trig ratios to do simple solving of triangles.

Jerry and Ashley are trying to find out if it is possible to see the lowest point in the USA from the highest point in the USA. It turns out that the highest point in the United States, the peak of Mount Whitney, is only 85 miles from...

In this task, students must decide where to place sprinklers on a lawn so that the maximum area of the lawn will be watered. To solve it, they must find areas of sectors of circles and use trigonometric ratios to solve right triangles....

In this task, students investigate how many coins will fit around a central coin when they are all of the same denomination, and if there is room left over. The teacher is given a chart of four coin denominations and their diameters, but...
